Prue | 1.01ct Oval Lab Grown Diamond Double Halo | 18ct White Gold
A 1.01ct oval cut lab grown diamond, E colour, VS1 clarity, framed by a delicate double halo and diamond gallery, set on a fully diamond-set band in 18ct white gold.
Why this ring works
The oval cut centre is the design choice that quietly does the most work. Ovals are an elongated brilliant cut, they hold the same fire and sparkle as a round brilliant, but the shape stretches longer on the finger, which makes the diamond look noticeably larger than its actual carat weight.
The double halo is what separates this ring from a standard halo design. Most halo rings use one row of small diamonds around the centre stone. This one uses two concentric halos. Each diamond in both halos is individually claw-set. The overall ring face reads significantly larger than the centre stone alone, without needing a larger centre diamond to get there.
A note on lab grown diamonds
Every diamond in this ring is lab grown, meaning they were created in controlled laboratory conditions rather than mined. Chemically, optically and physically, they are identical to natural diamonds — same carbon structure, same hardness, same fire, same sparkle. The only difference is origin. The centre diamond comes with an IGI Diamond Report, the standard certification for lab grown diamonds, documenting its grade and characteristics.
The diamonds
- Centre: 1.01ct oval cut lab grown diamond, E colour, VS1 clarity
- Accents: double halo, diamond-set gallery, and diamond-set band
- Centre stone certified by IGI Diamond Report
E/VS1 is a "no compromises" grade. E colour sits in the top three on the GIA colour scale (D-E-F are all considered colourless), and VS1 means the centre stone is eye-clean with only very minor inclusions visible under 10x magnification.
The setting
- Metal: 18ct white gold
- Style: Four-claw centre with double halo, diamond-set gallery, diamond-set band
